Teaching Secondary Science: Theory and Practice provides a dynamic approach to preparing preservice science teachers for practice. Divided into two parts - theory and practice - the text allows students to first become confident in the theory of teaching science before showing how this theory can be applied to practice through ideas for implementation, such as sample lesson plans. These examples span a variety of age levels and subject areas, allowing preservice teachers to adapt each exercise to suit their needs when they enter the classroom.Each chapter is supported by pedagogical features, including learning objectives, reflections, scenarios, key terms, questions, research topics and further readings. Written by leading science education researchers from universities across Australia, Teaching Secondary Science is a practical resource that will continue to inspire preservice teachers as they move from study into the classroom. This book includes a single-use twelve-month subscription to Cambridge Dynamic Science.
- Brings together an expert team of authors comprising leading science education researchers and practicing teachers from across Australia
- Divides the theory and practice of teaching secondary science, allowing students to master the theory before learning how to implement it in their own teaching
- Fosters each preservice teacher's science teacher identity
- Provides practical examples across year levels and subject areas that students can adapt to use in their own teaching
